Damn that George Bush. When is he going to quit blowing out the budget. Ain't that right AK? Oh wait - Harry Reid hasn't passed a budget for 4 years so there really isn't a yearly deficit! Problem solved. The U.S. federal government's budget deficit widened in November compared to October, a sign that the nation is on a path to its fifth straight $1 trillion-plus deficit. The budget gap rose to $172 billion in November, up from $120 billion in October, the Treasury Department said Wednesday. The November deficit was also 25 percent higher than the same month last year. Last month's deficit was pushed higher by a calendar quirk that pulled about $33 billion in benefits payments into November from December. The government finished the 2012 budget year with a deficit of $1.1 trillion. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...ME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-12-12-14-11-16
Wow, $172 billion for just one month. And to think...in 2007 Bush ran the deficit up $161 billion...for the ENTIRE year! And thats with those 2 "unfunded" wars the democrats love to talk about. Damn Obama...how many spinning rims & gold teeth can a brotha buy?
